My 92 Z28 with new wheels
This is my 1992 Z28 25th anniversary L98 TPI stock with MSD blaster coil and wires the tranny is 700R4 with shift kit and the rear end is the factory 3.23 LSD wil change that to 3.73 soon and the wheels are 15×6 front and 15×10 rear Im facing a problem with rear tires they rubs so bad in the fender I did some work on the fender it dont rubs anymore but under heavy acceleration I noticed that my car is lowered in the back not like the others F-bodys in my country shocks are dead maybe? anyways here are the pictures with stock wheels and after with the Centerline's
the rear tires are 275/60/15 and I know its the wrong size it must be 275/50 instead of the 275/60 but I think I will change them to 295/50 what do you think? does it needs lowering in the front? feel free to share your opinion

Re: My 92 Z28 with new wheels
Nice!
I know that size tire fits. Sounds like the rims are the wrong offset.

Re: My 92 Z28 with new wheels
Nice car man, and I like the wheels. But i don't know if I like them better than torq-thrusts or cragar's. Looks good though.

Re: My 92 Z28 with new wheels
Cool website, I checked it out, I was thrown off by the lumina ss, kinda cool to see a 4 door car with a factory ls1, we don't have em over here in the states, took me a minute to realize it was one of those aussie cars rebadged, a holden or whatever there called..

Wow threw me off also, Didnt expect that one. I kinda like it..although it reminds me to much of the revamped '04 Gtos.

Re: My 92 Z28 with new wheels
Do any of you guys have any idea where in the work I can find a 17x8.5 and a 17 x 9 or 9.5 mesh wheel with black centers that have the correct backspacing for the car and won't have to be custom ordered? I have bullitt style ones now but want a bigger lip on the back and really want a mesh centered wheel instead of a 5 star.

Re: My 92 Z28 with new wheels
yeah we have those Lumina's instead of the Holdens because its illegal to drive a right hand steering wheel in my country so we have those Lumina's and very few GTO's and those Lumina's got so much problems in their tranny's and differential I guess you saw that silver supercharged Lumina he sold the Lumina after putting 5 trannys and none of them can hold the power so he sold the car and the new owner put a TH-350 and now its holding fine

Very cool car!
On a side note, I never thought Id have anything positive to say about a Lumina, but that one is way cool.

Re: My 92 Z28 with new wheels
Looks good man! the only thing i might of done is since you got a deep dish in the back that looks very good go a little deeper in the front.
